We are very thankful for the CBE setting up a system for loaning out technology to our families that needed a device to help make ongoing learning a little easier. As we approach the last weeks of the school year we will now need to safely receive all of these devices back from families. 

If you have a CBE Chromebook or iPad that you borrowed during this time, we ask that you please return it at the Front Entry of our school during the following times: 

-Monday, June 22 to Thursday, June 25 between 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM 

-Friday, June 26 between 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM

To Do's for Today: 

Task #1: Listen to Read-Aloud (about 10 minutes) 

Because you are all 'Going Places!' with your many amazing skills and talents, enjoy this special book from Peter Reynolds today.  

Task #2: Scavenger Hunt

Today's "Year end celebration week" activity is a Community Scavenger Hunt where learners and families are able to get outside and explore their community to find clues and solve a mystery. Families are able to join in this optional task as they see fits for their family:

• The clues will be posted on Wednesday morning and taken down later in the day on Thursday
• It is easy for the family to join in together
• There are three different maps for different ages that all point towards similar clues, Kindergarten & Grade 1 Clues, Grade 2 & 3 Clues and Grade 4 Clues.
• We will share the solution to the puzzle during the whole school assembly on Friday.

The instructions for the Community Scavenger Hunt for the three different levels can be found here:

Read aloud:

I couldn't decide which story I wanted to share with you. So I decided to share both stories. The one above is my very favourite and the link below will take you a short animated feature about a hockey sweater (my second favourite book). I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Task 1

The first school wide activity:

Invitation to Create a Time Capsule Memory

We are going to create a digital time capsule of memories from students of Eric Harvie School.

We will also share your work with the Glenbow Museum – they are also collecting memories from Calgarians. Check out their website at https://glenbow.org/programs/dear-glenbow/

What to do:

Create a ‘before the pandemic’/’after the pandemic’ drawing, story, video clip, photo essay or whatever creative way helps you describe something in your life that is different now that you are living through a pandemic than it was before.

For example: how you play, school, family time, team sports, eating dinner, seeing your friends or grandparents, going on family walks, etc.

When you are finished with your creation, take a photo or upload to the google doc folder on your Pod Blog. We will retrieve it from there and add it to the Time Capsule.

Enjoy! We look forward to sharing your one-page or one-minute memories!

Now watch the video!
